through all that and realised it doesn’t really
matter what other people think or say. It’s
your own beliefs and your family and friends
know the truth and that’s the most important
thing in the world. My wife, Kim, has been
my biggest supporter. She’s with me pretty
much 24 hours a day. My kids have been very
comforting, too, and I’ve enjoyed the extra
time I’ve had being around them. Now that
my son has gone to college I’d really like to
get my game back to where it should be and
hopefully take the family to more Majors.

It’s been three years since the incident.
What headlines should we have read from
that night out in Honolulu? What weren’t
we told?
You weren’t told Allenby was drugged,
robbed and beaten. I’m not the first person
it’s happened to and I won’t be the last. It
happens nearly every night there but they
don’t report it to protect tourism. The first
person who actually called me and left a
message on my phone back at the hotel was
Hawaii’s Minister for Tourism. If that doesn’t
tell you something then I don’t know. I got
made out to be something else and it pretty
much destroyed my career at the time. That’s
why I’m trying to get things back to where
they used to be. I’m still the same person but
I’m definitely more cautious on things that
can happen in the world.

Do you find the media in America more
aggressive than Australia and other places?
Australia has always been pretty critical. But
I remember when Nick Faldo was going
through divorces and the English paparazzi
were pretty brutal. I mean, look what they
did with Princess Diana ... that says it all right
there, doesn’t it, just how vicious and greedy
they can be? My situation obviously hasn’t
been like that. It’s just one of those things ...
some stories don’t sell papers but negativity
does. People love to see negative things
written. People thrive on that sort of stuff.
Living in America and seeing floods, fires and
shootings every day makes you think it’s really
kind of a f---ed-up world, to put it bluntly. It’s
a shame and it’s now at a point where we don’t
even watch the news anymore. It’s always so
negative so why would we want to watch it?
Kim and I get out of the house with the kids
and go do stuff when the news comes on.

Speaking of headlines, you’ve managed to
land yourself in a few over the years with
your relationships with caddies. When you
look back now, do you concede you’d be a
hard boss to work for?
What’s quite funny is there are a lot of players
on tour who take a different caddie each week
or month, but for some reason my caddie
situation likes to hit the press [laughs]. But
you know what? At the end of the day, I expect
the best and if the best is not given than I’m
going to say something. It’s no different to
a CEO in an office that has people working
